SLIPing in First Gear !

Since I'm now past my Break-In period I've been driving my baby pretty aggressively that last week and half and I notice that when I'm in Manual Mode (Paddle Shifting) when I floor it from a complete stop I tend to loose some traction and the SLIP light comes on..... Is there a better technique I should be using so I don't slip in 1st gear? Should I not be flooring it until I get a little traction and then floor it?

You can always turn off the VDC control and light em up!
Or go easy on the loud pedal until you get some speed going..
Practice.. it's fun!

Better to have a small roll going.. then jump on it.
